Reply to "Flywheel Mass vs. Acceleration"

brother-beeMember

About 50 years ago I associated with Reath Automotive in Long Beach and had the opportunity to try a Schaefer Aluminum flywheel and clutch assembly for drag racing. At the time I had a 10” M&H and 4:56 gears. To compensate for the Aluminum flywheel I would sidestep the clutch at approximately 6,500 RPM vs 4,500. Trap speed slightly increased as elapsed time slightly decreased. I loved the snap sound the engine made with the aluminum flywheel, but repair, replacement of the aluminum flywheel became a problem and I went back to Hays.
